I have to say that I have no par­tic­u­lar issue in reveal­ing my iden­tity on-​line. My about page on this site is quite clear about that.

Any­way I was just wan­der­ing how this infor­ma­tion may be used or, bet­ter, mis-​used.

Between the tools that I use today I have:

• Jaiku
• Twit­ter
• Flickr
• del​.icio​.us
• LinkedIn
• Ziki
• My blogs (And related informations).

There’s a lot of info there to be known about me.

If you look at my Jaiku stream you will be able to know what I am doing and where I am. Same for Twit­ter. In this case the his­tory of infor­ma­tion is lim­ited to, let’say, a cou­ple of days? That does not pre­vent some­one from track­ing my activities. Same for Twitter.

Look­ing at my Pho­tos you may col­lect infor­ma­tion on my taste. My pho­tos will stay there forever.

The list of my links on del​.icio​.us will rep­re­sent a clear indi­ca­tion of my inter­ests and behavior.

Look­ing through my blogs you will be able to under­stand what I am think­ing about a lot of things in the Tele­coms indus­try and in my life in a more gen­eral way.

Mon­i­tor­ing my LinkedIn account you may track the com­pa­nies I visit and the con­tacts that I add to my network.

In the best case this infor­ma­tion may be used by a head hunter look­ing at infor­ma­tions about you for your next job.

In the worst case it may be used by thieves mon­i­tor­ing when I will leave my house to reach my hol­i­day house.

Why do I blog this? I’m just feel­ing too much exposed dur­ing these days. Real threat or I am get­ting paranoid?
